that imports that were coming from china would have come from other areas, whether it was vietnam, india or brazil. and even if one had only been concerned about u.s. workers and not about u.s. consumers, for example, this would not have anything for u.s. workers. i think there are some of the same discussions we are seeing a. the problem is that there was a sort of very strong philosophical approach which said the reason the bush administration didn't do this was this ideological commitment to free trade and they were willing to sell out u.s. workers and things will now be different. widget that premise is going to make it very hard to say, oops, we just checked and there are more countries other than just china and this may not do much. . . that means to be considered very strongly. secondly, somehow we have to have an adult conversation with beijing about the fact that we can all walk and chew gum at the same time. we can fight over things and still work together. the chinese wanted to be all or nothing. we have cases with the europeans on very difficult issues all the time, and it do

you cannot compete with china and india with an inadequate education system. and an inadequate education system can't be fixed by not have left behind. you need an entire new model of every american getting a head because you have too many adults who are under educated for the world market, and you can't say to somebody who is 22, we are a guide to help you, but will fix k-12. you are going to have 40 or 50 years. so we need to have a fundamental new approach that includes a vocational technical school, college, k-12, but it also includes a home schooling, burning underground, it includes things like the university of phoenix online learning. we have to have a fundamental new approach to 3605 days a year capacity to keep learning and the most rapid possible rates of that every american can be fully employed. i mentioned to you earlier, 2 million minutes. i really wish every community would watch this bill and have a dialogue about what does it mean and what did we have to do so our schools can be competitive? talks in points out. 60 percent of u.s. students ha

would raise energy taxes, kill millions of jobs without even changing the climate because china and india refuse to do the same. i do not agree with a government takeover of health care that would force millions of americans off their current health care, drive health care costs even higher for families, ration care, restrict access to the latest cures and treatments, and put health care decisions in the hands of government bureaucrats rather than doctors and patients. but i do agree that the country is tired of partisanship infecting every debate. the country is tired of actions by a congress becoming a political battle. and so while i do not follow the hypocrisy of many of my democratic colleagues who refuse to -- refused to support justice roberts and alito because they disagreed with their judicial philosophy and now suggest that republicans not do the same. i respect and agree with the legal reasoning of my colleagues who will vote "no." but i will follow the direction of the past and my hope for the future with less polarization, less confrontation, less partisanship. my friends in

india, the interagency aspect is critical, as is how the various agencies related to the most senior officials in government. on the basis of physical and copperheads of review, the commission can then make recommendations which will help guide us in the future. this process is fundamentally about understanding where we have been, inrder to determine the best way forward. some might argue that such a commission is no needed. after all, president obama has issued a series of executive orders that chart a new course on detention and interrogation policy. as imptant as these orders are, i believe that something more is needed. it's not enough to say that america is discontinuing the policies and practices of the recent past. we must as a country take stock of where we have been an determine what was and is not acceptable, what should n have been done, and what we will never do again. it is my sincere hope that the commission will confront and rect the notion still powerful in our midst that these policies were and are a proper choice, and that they could be implemented again in e future
